The Guyana Badminton Association believes local sport stands to benefit significantly in 2023, given the increase in budgetary allocation for Sport.
The National Budget, totalling a record $781.9 billion, was presented by Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh on Monday, with Sport receiving its largest allocation ever of $4.3 billion.
BELOW IS A STATEMENT BY THE GUYANA BADMINTON ASSOCIATION
The Guyana Badminton Association wishes to commend the 2023 National Budget presented by the Hon. Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh.
Our unanimous view is that this budget is comprehensive and adds another pillar to the construction of a strong sports sector by the present government.
It is public knowledge that the fraternity has been injected with needed support and vigour from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport under the leadership of the Hon. Charles Ramson Jr., who has created a new vision and direction for sport in Guyana.
We anticipate that even though 2022 was an excellent year for local sport, the provisions in the Budget will allow for an even better 2023.
